A FinOps platform whose agents hunt down wasted Kubernetes spend on their own — spotting it, diagnosing the cause and applying the fix. Built on kagent, kgateway and kmcp, it turns cost optimization into something that runs continuously instead of quarterly.
Binding three of the host's own open-source projects together is already a strong showing on depth of sponsor-technology use, but the substance is that the team did not stop at a dashboard pointing out waste. Agents diagnose the cause and apply the fix, which earns the word agent instead of report, and turns cost optimisation from a quarterly review that loses to feature work into something that simply runs.
